Healthy chickens lay tasty eggs, and you get healthy chickens from quality chicken feed. Finding the appropriate feed with the correct nutritional balance is important and the professionals at Frizelle Enos in Penngrove are here to help you.
Chickens will eat anything from grain to insects, and even animal items depending on how small the pieces are. Additionally, they need a diverse variety of nutrients in order to not only lay eggs but lay eggs that are nutritionally dense.
Chick starter and grower feeds are loaded with calories, especially from protein - to help your chicks grow, boosting their immune systems, and improving their general health. Grower feed is crucial for healthy chickens.
Layer feed has a different dietary make-up that includes more calcium to stimulate proper egg production in newly laying hens.
Flock raiser offers a well balanced nutrition when you have a blended flock of chickens. It's easier to use and still provides terrific nutrition.
Crumble and pellets are typically the main presentation of flock raiser food, as it's simple for chicks and chickens alike to consume and absorb.
Shell grit has 2 objectives - one, it helps the gizzard break down food effectively, and two, it adds extra calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is needed for correct nutrition regardless, but it's especially essential for egg-laying hens.
Cracked corn isn't a great feed - it's calorie-dense but not big on nutrition. Regardless, it's a nice treat for your chickens, it's really affordable and in a pinch, it can be used to feed your chickens if you've got nothing else accessible.
